Why I Chose MIT: I wanted to come to MIT for college for years! MIT's faculty and academic excellence are legendary, and the MIT EECS Program is the best in the world. Every time I read about a person, research, innovations, and even the over-the-top pranks at MIT, I knew this was the place I wanted to be. My visits with the MIT Varsity Volleyball team and coaches only solidified my belief that MIT would be the perfect student-athlete college experience for me, and I am so happy and excited to now be a part of this challenging, inspiring and fun community!
